NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1612 Beware of the Japanese
"Your Highness, please rest assured. Regarding the Fusang people, Wei Chen reminds himself every day that he will never give them any chance to take power."
Regarding Li Xiang’s reminder, people within the Tang Empire also paid attention to it, mainly because all Li Xiang’s reminders were very important. Take the people in the Arab Empire as an example. At that time, no one believed that people in the Arab Empire would Such a large amount of energy, and it can even rival us.
But after two wars, these people have finally understood. If Li Xiang hadn't paid attention to them earlier, perhaps our losses would have been greater now. Even if the entire Western Region's power was used, after several years War, we did not conquer the Arab Empire, they were very different from our previous enemies.
Li Xiang has said it several times about Fusang people, and he has said it a bit too frequently. You have to know that people like Li Xiang talk like this. You can imagine how many Fusang people there are. It's scary. If we loosen their rope a little, we may not be able to take it back.
"Just keep it in mind. Is there anything urgent?"
Li Xiang pointed to the official documents that Xiao Shougui brought over and said that he originally came here every three days. If there was nothing urgent at other times, he would not come to Li Xiang. After all, the official documents from Xiao Shougui were really There are too many, and they all have to be dealt with in advance. If Li Xiang has to make the decision on everything, then simply hand over all official affairs to Li Xiang.
"Your Highness, General Li is here."
Just when Xiao Shougui was about to speak, a young eunuch came from the door. Li Chengyi heard what was going on here and hurriedly came from the outside. Before his horse could stop the car, Chang Sun Ze also came over. Both men heard news from the front.
The two of them led people to fight on the front line, but because they could not find a way to fight, they were replaced. Now the Arab Empire gathered its army and moved north again. Their opportunity also came, so they all came to Li Xiang. Let's take a walk. If Li Xiang has a decisive battle plan in his heart, wouldn't we know about it earlier?
Staying in this place will make your whole body rusty. If this continues, these people may not be able to bear it anymore, so going to the front line to have fun is what most soldiers want to do.
"You two are well-informed. I haven't reported to His Highness here yet. You two have already come here. If nothing goes wrong this time, the war will really start again. You two The general may also have a place to use."
After hearing what Xiao Shougui said, Li Xiang realized that he was the last one to know. The three of them had already heard the news, otherwise they wouldn't have come at such a suitable time.
Seeing the confused expression on Li Xiang's face, Xiao Shougui took the time to describe the situation on the front line. The Arab Empire recruited a relatively large number of troops this time. If all the troops were counted, there would be at least nearly half a million people. When he heard this number, Li Xiang also became interested.
The reason why we retreated last time was because we were afraid of something going wrong. It didn't mean that we couldn't defeat the Arab Empire, but that in a decisive battle between cities, our chances of winning were not that great. If we were to be attacked by surprise, the army might be delayed. There it is.
The victories that the Tang Empire had achieved over the years were probably not that dazzling, so Li Xiang took a relatively safe approach and led the army to retreat first, but he did not retreat entirely, but left two nails behind. At present, It seems that these two nails are quite well made.
According to Li Xiang's original strategy, a large number of the effective forces of the Arab Empire should be eliminated in the wild. When more of their effective forces are eliminated, the more opportunities we have to win. If they attack us in the hinterland of their empire, It is said that there is no benefit. We are in the state of invaders. In that kind of combat method, we have to exert double our strength.
"Your Highness?"
After the report, Li Xiang fell into deep thought. Others could still keep their composure, but Li Chengyi couldn't. Although this guy had achieved military exploits, he still had half a million Arab Empire soldiers in front of him. If you were to watch the army from the side, you would be blinded by it.
"If our army wants to go over for a decisive battle, it will be a long journey, and it will not do us any good. We order our troops on the front line to fight and retreat, attract them to the vicinity of the military station, and retreat a thousand miles."
Li Xiang soon made his own decision. If our army travels a long distance, especially at this temperature, the combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least 30%. Since they want to fight us decisively, they must do it in our way. .
The three people present also nodded. Although the famine has already tortured the Arab Empire, according to the investigation of our secret agents, they can still hold on in the country. Although the current situation is very serious, it is still a tyrant after all. A large empire spanning two continents, their strength is unfathomable and they will never be defeated by a disaster.
If we are too optimistic, we will be the ones who suffer in the end. If we use Li Xiang's strategy to retreat a thousand miles, their troops will have to come here under the scorching sun, and our military stations and roads have been repaired. In the past, when we reached the end of the road, various supplies could be delivered continuously, so that our supply team would not have to find their way in the desert.
We were lucky enough last time, so the supplies were not interrupted, but when Li Xiang came back to review, he found that we were just lucky. If sandstorms broke out more frequently, our frontline troops might There is not even food and drink. After all, it can support a small number of troops. It is very difficult for a large number of troops to find food and drink on the front line.
"I agree with His Highness, but we should also prepare in advance. If this army can be annihilated, then the war between us and the Arab Empire will be over soon."
Xiao Shougui said very optimistically, but Li Xiang was not so optimistic. The Arab Empire was too large. Even if these people were killed, the future would be very difficult. (End of chapter)
